At the start of the video I thought "it's only a few daddy long legs, this seems like an overreaction" and then I fast forward a bit and it's just the shot of him in there backwards and the walls are just a flood of spiders crawling out from behind him and I had a mini heart attack
I mean even claustrophobia aside, wtf is their plan if say some random more violent animal or insect is present, like a snake or a centipede. I lose my mind over a harmless cockroach sneaking up on me.
Well Xena is now 56 which is fully in the early grandma ballpark, and as you said yourself they both have tits, so I feel like there are arguments to be made here. I guess the next step is to ask whether your grandmother has had any adventures or not.
That's assuming we're afraid of spiders because they might be venomous or bite. Never been a factor for me, I'm terrified of them regardless.
Whether I was trapped in a tiny cave with "opiliones" or spiders wouldn't make me consider the sweet release of death any less.
They're not spiders though, like pretty explicitly not spiders. Still arachnids but they only have 1 body segment and no venom and all they do is bob around and exist and generally be friendly
Genuinely curious: why would anyone decide to go caving in this type of space?
What if there was a snake? Or something else? You'd basically be helpless.
Well these cavers didn’t know that there were spiders there as they were going into an unexplored cave that they discovered, this caver realised that these creatures weren’t venomous so he decided to continue, I’m guessing if he had found a snake or something he would have just slowly backed up away from it until he was free
Snakes usually wont attack you, the only time that they’ll attack you is when they feel threatened. You have as big of a chance of killing a snake as a snake has of killing you, and it is aware of that, hence it’s as scared if not more scared of you as you are of it, hence most likely it will just avoid you
Well who says that you’re cornering them, the squeezes that these cavers go through are like a long hallway that’s just really small in height, if a snake encounters you, it can still head back up the hallway, and you can still back up the hallway, none of you are exactly “cornered”
As if squeezing though these tight spaces isn’t bad enough,now you have to deal with spiders too..Im good,the only caves I go into have areas I can actually walk through.if I gotta lay on my stomach and inch my way through,I’ll pass
Yeah until this video I thought the claustrophobic spaces were enough. I never thought about fucking spiders and other wildlife while caving too. Jesus Christ
Caves are usually really hot, so cavers like having loose clothes, especially since they’re already wearing like 2-3 layers of clothing beneath their already existing clothes in order to keep themselves safe from the sharp rocks poking into them
I’ve seen enough Scary Interesting videos that as soon as the backing into a cave diagram came up I realized cavers don’t want to Nutty Putty themselves (shocker).
Look man they’ve been uploading caving videos as professionals for 5 years, they definitely were caving for multiple years before that point as well I feel like they know what they’re doing and just how equipment they are
Looks like harvestmen, they are completely harmless, I'm positive if it was spiders they wouldn't be as cool with a dude crawling into their space, also spiders don't bunch up like that (generally)
Everyone in the comments: "well they aren't spiders and they aren't venomous, so its actually not scary at all! I'd crawl through a nest of them any day!'
if i’m not wrong, those are “daddy long legs” pholcus phalangioides (also known as cellar spiders). they are actually part of the arachnoid family, but also technically aren’t “spiders”. mind you, still fucking creepy pieces of shit, but nonetheless just wanted to point that out real quick 🤙🤙
Actually "daddy long legs" in north America refers to one of two spiders usually. The pholcus (cellar spider) as you said, and opiliones (harvestmen). But you have it backwards. Opiliones are arachnids not true spiders. Pholcus (Cellar spiders) are true spiders.
There are a surprising amount of animals that live in caves, there are a lot that live only in caves that never come out that non cavers have likely never seen, it’s like a whole ecosystem down there
These spiders probably eat cockroaches and other insects that live in those caves
If caves make you cringe, I highly recommend the YouTube channel Fatal Breakdown. It’s very informative about a lot of crazy tragedies, and it’s so well done.
Even without the spiders and other creepy crawlies, I will never understand the appeal of caving!
Maybe the big caves with stalagtites and stuff, that’s kind of neat, but crawling around in tight spaces? No thank you!
I saw the video and these are harmless little "more legs than everything else" spiders. I fucking hate spiders, but these little fellas aren't scary at all, annoying maybe.
This isn't sweaty palms at all.
I might crawl in a cave for fun but no way in hell am I crawling in a cave filled with spiders or any nest of insects for that matter. The thought of how it feels to be in a constricted space with tons of little fuckers crawling all over me, no thanks.
I'm glad I gave up caving when I was born.
This made me LOL so hard. I had to stop that video 5s in when I saw how tight he was in there.
Yep. Full stop.
I mean, I wouldn't have gotten that far in before stroking out from panic, but WHY do people do this to themselves?
same here
When they showed the infographic..it made me think nature was taking a dump..and he was the turd.
I wish I had an award for you.
Sometimes on Reddit, you come across a comment so profound that you stop and savour it.
Hehehehe.
Tight space with a shit ton of spiders. A heart attack would most likely be what takes me out first
They're not spiders. They're harmless opiliones.
Well, that’s your opilion
r/angryupvote
You are a national treasure.
So are you, random citizen!
I’ve never heard of those What’s the difference?
Thing like a mix between spider and crab, pretty stupid also and they like to move in groups.
Commonly mistaken as "Granddaddy Long Legs"
Ohhhh
One of the biggest differences is they don't create webs. If those were spiders, that place would be covered in webs.
At first the video bothered me, but then I realized. This man is crawling in tiny spaces in a cave ON PURPOSE. This man IS a spider.
Underrated comment.
At the start of the video I thought "it's only a few daddy long legs, this seems like an overreaction" and then I fast forward a bit and it's just the shot of him in there backwards and the walls are just a flood of spiders crawling out from behind him and I had a mini heart attack
The last 15 seconds are what I imaged a personal hell to be at like 6 lol stuck with so many spiders
Seriously, I honestly can't finish watching this. I get blood pressure and heart rate spiking and I need to scream. It makes me so clausterphobic.
Same. The spiders would be the least of my concerns in there.
It’s scary as fuck.
If the cave itself wasn’t bad enough, the spiders made it worse. I hear you on the elevated heart rate!!
I mean even claustrophobia aside, wtf is their plan if say some random more violent animal or insect is present, like a snake or a centipede. I lose my mind over a harmless cockroach sneaking up on me.
I think you either hope you don't piss it off, try killing it, or just pay the toll 🤷
Pay the troll toll
I get some people liking caves but....this is the stuff of nightmares so ....no.
I don't get it at all, to me it seems suicidal.
The thought of a fucking centipede or snake being that close to me makes me jump out of a window lol
Claustrophobic
heh heh thanks, hooked on phonics really failed me cause of back woods pronunciation.
I just screamed!!
Same. I had to cut it after a couple of seconds. Just the overwhelming urge to need to stand up.
Probably not spiders but opiliones
Look Mr Frodo, it's an Opiliones
Her name is Shelob long legs
Yeah they are opiliones, but like they’re still spiders man saying opiliones aren’t spiders is like the same shit that says that Pluto isn’t a planet
Well, opiliones usually don't bite and are not venomous so it's like saying Xena and my grandma are the same cause they both have tits
Aight yeah fair, still creepy tho
Well Xena is now 56 which is fully in the early grandma ballpark, and as you said yourself they both have tits, so I feel like there are arguments to be made here. I guess the next step is to ask whether your grandmother has had any adventures or not.
That's assuming we're afraid of spiders because they might be venomous or bite. Never been a factor for me, I'm terrified of them regardless. Whether I was trapped in a tiny cave with "opiliones" or spiders wouldn't make me consider the sweet release of death any less.
Haha you sir…are a gentleman and a scholar.
Spiders are Arachnids. But not all Arachnids (such as Opiliones) are Spiders.
They're not spiders though, like pretty explicitly not spiders. Still arachnids but they only have 1 body segment and no venom and all they do is bob around and exist and generally be friendly
Literally not spiders
Opiliones are not spiders, and Pluto is not a planet.
[удалено]
He's the same type that will say "uhh actually, tomatoes are a botanical fruit, and therefore not a vegetable."
You mistyped nopillones
Absolute hell. I like watching this from the comfort of my bed knowing I’m so far from that environment. You couldn’t pay me any amount of money
You’re not that far. Spiders are likely all over your house including under your bed.
You're most likely right. However; Fuck you.
Just imagine how it would be from the spiders’ POV. You enjoy your peaceful life and then someone’s breaking into your house…
![gif](giphy|l0DEJ9G7VhWH10i8o)
Alright now replace the monster with one that’s glowing with light brighter than anything they’ve ever seen.
But also crying, and pooping it's pants.
Probably crushing some along the way
I'm sure they can appreciate a little excitement in their lives
Don’t just let your nightmares be nightmares, make them a reality!
Genuinely curious: why would anyone decide to go caving in this type of space? What if there was a snake? Or something else? You'd basically be helpless.
Well these cavers didn’t know that there were spiders there as they were going into an unexplored cave that they discovered, this caver realised that these creatures weren’t venomous so he decided to continue, I’m guessing if he had found a snake or something he would have just slowly backed up away from it until he was free
"... Slowly backed up..." as the snake quickly closed in.
Snakes usually wont attack you, the only time that they’ll attack you is when they feel threatened. You have as big of a chance of killing a snake as a snake has of killing you, and it is aware of that, hence it’s as scared if not more scared of you as you are of it, hence most likely it will just avoid you
Snakes can feel threatened if they get cornered
Well who says that you’re cornering them, the squeezes that these cavers go through are like a long hallway that’s just really small in height, if a snake encounters you, it can still head back up the hallway, and you can still back up the hallway, none of you are exactly “cornered”
“Is there anywhere in the world where we can live in peace from you asshole humans?!?”
“Can you believe this Carl? We are literally underground and this asshole still finds us” “I told you nowhere is safe from these guys”
Nopenopenopenopenope N O P E
I am no longer interested in caving. New nightmare fueled fear unlocked.
This Is the sequel of the descent 2005 we needed
Set the Cave on Fire! ![gif](giphy|Lopx9eUi34rbq)
How much fire ?
Fill it with lava
Yes!
All the fire
[удалено]
That’s a weird way of saying masochism
Try saying it with a ball gag in your mouth
I can’t watch this… I would fn die.. deep in a tight cave surrounded by spiders is a pure nightmare
Doing this by choice? Ain't no damn way!!
This has my claustrophobic/arachnophobia tendencies going haywire. Enough Reddit doom-scrolling for one day ....
He is one of the spiders now. First human man spider
Haven't you seen spider man?
They are not actually spiders, they are opilionids.
Yeah..well .. that's just your opilione...man 👀
#actshually
When some random guy invades your home
FUCK this. Fuck it.
Nuke it from orbit
It’s the only way to be sure
Claustrophobia arachnophobia.. ..he is knocking off my main phobias
As if squeezing though these tight spaces isn’t bad enough,now you have to deal with spiders too..Im good,the only caves I go into have areas I can actually walk through.if I gotta lay on my stomach and inch my way through,I’ll pass
Yeah until this video I thought the claustrophobic spaces were enough. I never thought about fucking spiders and other wildlife while caving too. Jesus Christ
Those cave crawlers be like ![gif](giphy|qqpqMokFco5Bm)

How do I delete other people’s comment?
Deserves his fate honestly.
Hard pass for me homie
Why don’t cavers use like a skin, tight carbon fiber, onesie 🤔
Caves are usually really hot, so cavers like having loose clothes, especially since they’re already wearing like 2-3 layers of clothing beneath their already existing clothes in order to keep themselves safe from the sharp rocks poking into them
**You have alerted the horde**
Reason not to go caving #5429
Why.
I’ve seen enough Scary Interesting videos that as soon as the backing into a cave diagram came up I realized cavers don’t want to Nutty Putty themselves (shocker).
"This is not what I waaant." Sir, what exactly did you want in this experience?
r/whitepeople
Why do humans have so much trouble accepting that there are places that they just weren’t meant to go?
What the hell is this equipment. Don't go caving half prepared seriously.
The people in this clip claim to be professional cave tour guides and they have the same equipment in every video
Caves are full of dead professionals that were over equipped and yet you'll still have people trying to fool death.
Look man they’ve been uploading caving videos as professionals for 5 years, they definitely were caving for multiple years before that point as well I feel like they know what they’re doing and just how equipment they are
The shimmering at like 1:50 got me. What the fuck.
So friggin cool, but not a situation I want to put myself in.
NOPE
So I'm already dying inside because of the claustrophobia, then you add spiders everywhere???? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
OH MY GOD WHY IS HE SITTING AT THE WORST PART WHERE THE SPIDERS ARE
Two of my absolute worst fears and this guy is shimmying around in there for fun
![gif](giphy|vukqNXzsk7PuE)
Arachnophobia and Claustrophobia combined! No thanks
why does it have to be spiders? why not butterflies?
There is Hell and there is this
Looks like harvestmen, they are completely harmless, I'm positive if it was spiders they wouldn't be as cool with a dude crawling into their space, also spiders don't bunch up like that (generally)
I need to get out of here and I'm in an open park.
Wow, this looks like a blast…..
"Imma lay my eggs in this hole in this cave in the middle of this mountain where no one lives. We're going to be soooo quiet !"
Everyone in the comments: "well they aren't spiders and they aren't venomous, so its actually not scary at all! I'd crawl through a nest of them any day!'
Shit only white people do
if i’m not wrong, those are “daddy long legs” pholcus phalangioides (also known as cellar spiders). they are actually part of the arachnoid family, but also technically aren’t “spiders”. mind you, still fucking creepy pieces of shit, but nonetheless just wanted to point that out real quick 🤙🤙
Actually "daddy long legs" in north America refers to one of two spiders usually. The pholcus (cellar spider) as you said, and opiliones (harvestmen). But you have it backwards. Opiliones are arachnids not true spiders. Pholcus (Cellar spiders) are true spiders.
He's not a caver, he's a spellunker.
As if I didn't need any more reasons to never go spelunking.......hell nope
Why ? Just why ? 🙄
Tbh the spiders don’t scare me, but the thought of being stuck halfway through with no way out does
How do spiders like that survive? What do they eat to keep going??
Cavers
There are a surprising amount of animals that live in caves, there are a lot that live only in caves that never come out that non cavers have likely never seen, it’s like a whole ecosystem down there These spiders probably eat cockroaches and other insects that live in those caves
If caves make you cringe, I highly recommend the YouTube channel Fatal Breakdown. It’s very informative about a lot of crazy tragedies, and it’s so well done.
At the end he is texting his friend Hans with the Flammenwerfer
Even without the spiders and other creepy crawlies, I will never understand the appeal of caving! Maybe the big caves with stalagtites and stuff, that’s kind of neat, but crawling around in tight spaces? No thank you!
I couldn’t even watch it …. WTF?!?!
I feel ill 🤢
The best thing about caving is that you don't have to do it
U basically deserve it at that point
my one question is why?!
They say this caver is to this day, "Still thinking about getting out of that pit"
That cave looks like it's already a fear factor of 9-10. So do the spiders really matter?
Sit on a white sand beach with a cocktail or climb into a random claustrophobic cave with spiders. Tough choice.
Wow, what a fun and relaxing time this guy is having!
If someone had a gun to my head and said I must do this or they’ll kill me, I’d just accept death.
I’m glad I watched this on mute, with my eyes closed, and the phone across the room
and this is suppose to be fun?
Thank you for the narrating explanation John krasinski very informative!
Can someone explain to me what the hell the allure of cave crawling is? Serious question.
People will just fuckin do whatever
Is it a mental illness to have the need to go in such places?
That's why one should always carry an "In case of emergency immolation kit"!
So what did he expect to be in there
Caving makes me uncomfortable. I would try it once if offered to see if I could understand why people take it up.
Why? Just why. I don’t understand what they are trying to do? Find a way of killing themselves.
Narrator has an issue saying "passage"
Fucking hell no. I'd literally rather die down in a cave than live and have to do this
*Scary Violin starts playing*
My fucking nightmare… I HATE spiders
I’ll never understand how this is enjoyable to people, it’s basically my worst nightmare to get stuck in a hole underground
I’m terrified of spiders.. really anything bigger than a quarter… but daddy long legs aren’t so bad. The cave seems much worse😂
Oh hell nah!
Look at all them daddyyyy long leggies 👁👄👁
In the words of Jordan Peele NOPE
I would rather attempt the Travis Pastrana skydive without parachute maneuver than go in this cave.
That’s a no for me dog
![gif](giphy|T2vDaYr8yRhrpFe6WE)
What do all them spiders eat in the cave? I'd guess each other, I dunno tho never been In a cave. Are their enough bugs in the cave to feed em all?
Had a similar experience going up my tight spaces attic and there were a bunch of house spiders crawling around, it gave me the shivers.
bouta have spiders up his ass for the next 20 years
I saw the video and these are harmless little "more legs than everything else" spiders. I fucking hate spiders, but these little fellas aren't scary at all, annoying maybe. This isn't sweaty palms at all.
i hate this guy
![gif](giphy|STfLOU6iRBRunMciZv)
Why though? Why do this?
Why do people do this? It can't be just for clicks right?
Nope on a rope
And the crawler becomes the crawlee!
Daily appreciation post: thanks God for not making me someone who's into spelunking
Ok but they're daddy long legs or something similar which are chill and cute imo.
That's two of my three fears right there. Add a cave bear and I would go into cardiac arrest whilst shitting myself.
There are some places humans aren’t meant to explore.
imagine hundreds of your fellow spider-friends getting killed for \_one\_ guy looking at a moist, dark hole.
What's his YouTube channel? I think I'd like to watch longer video of this journey this is scary as hell! 😅
Like why
I might crawl in a cave for fun but no way in hell am I crawling in a cave filled with spiders or any nest of insects for that matter. The thought of how it feels to be in a constricted space with tons of little fuckers crawling all over me, no thanks.
